Exeter City manager Matt Taylor says there is still a possibility of a loan player joining the club.

The loan transfer market closes on Friday, August 31, the last chance to bring any senior players in before the January window, and although Taylor is still open to the possibility of a late arrival to St James Park, he is happy with his current squad.

"There’s a possibility, he said. "We’re in constant conversations with various clubs in terms of loan players. It’s not as easy as just signing anyone you want.

"The targets we’re after are wanted by other clubs as well, so we’re working towards certain players. If we don’t get them then I’m happy with my squad simple as that.

"There’s still areas I want to improve on, areas I want to be better on in temrs of the group, so we’ll see what happens in the next couple of days, but what I will say is it’s not an end all in terms of the window closing."

Taylor also hinted he could look at the youth loan market which will remain open post-Friday, along with free agents.

He said: "Youth loans are still an option for us both in an out in terms of the club, so there’s lots of possibilities that could happen soon.

"There’s quite a few players still out there still looking for clubs, so like I've said if we bring any players in they’ve got to improve the punch, that’s why I cant just bring in a player just to bulk up the squad and take the place of a young player at the club – that’s not the way we work, so he’s got to be quality which ultimately either costs money or is wanted elsewhere, so it’s the way the market is, I’ve got no problem with that whatsoever, but anyone one we’ll bring in will add something to the group."
